Automatic Chain Tensioning

Reliable and efficient conveyor technology is essential in the modern bulk goods industry. Conventional chain conveyor systems often require expensive and time-consuming manual maintenance, during which the condition of the chain tension must be checked visually. This type of inspection requires machine components to be exposed, which can lead not only to contamination but also to damage to the parts. This results in downtime and regular maintenance costs. This is where the innovative LASHXTENSION® technology from Loibl comes in.

Automatic chain tensioning: Longer service life for your chain conveyors

OUR BENEFITS AT YOUR SERVICE

The LASHXTENSION® technology significantly reduces maintenance and improves operating efficiency through automatic chain tensioning. It offers the following advantages:

Reduced maintenance: automatic chain tensioning minimizes the need for monthly maintenance, cutting costs and reducing operational downtime
Real-time monitoring: The integrated control system continuously monitors the tension status of the chain and adjusts it as required. Particularly beneficial is the ability to receive automatic updates and condition reports, eliminating the need for manual inspections
Protection against chain wear: The even distribution of the tensioning pressure using hydraulic cylinders means that the chain is loaded more evenly. This reduces the risk of one-sided wear and extends the service life of the chain
Simple retrofitting: The LASHXTENSION® can be easily retrofitted to existing conveyor systems without major installation work. It is securely and safely attached to the conveyor and can be easily integrated into higher-level control systems

KEY FEATURES

Function control of the conveyor chain: The LASHXTENSION® protects against increased chain wear and chain breaks due to varying tension by distributing the tensioning pressure evenly using hydraulic cylinders. As a result, the chain is loaded more evenly and one-sided wear is reduced
The LASHXTENSION® consists of a hydraulic cylinder unit that is operated by an efficient drive unit with a standard power supply (230V/50Hz). An integrated, pre-programmed control system generates a permanent and optimum chain tension during operation
Low installation effort: The tensioning unit is attached to the conveyor safely and securely. Retrofitting is uncomplicated and can be carried out without major installation work. If a connection to a higher-level control system is required, signals can be exchanged via a corresponding interface. Maintenance costs are reduced and the service life of the chains is increased
